    Yes, you can. You should score a minimum of 50% in class 12th to do BCA. Some colleges prefer students who have studied mathematics till 12th class whereas there are some colleges which give admission to those who had opted for arts or commerce. Most of the renowned universities conduct entrance exam after qualifying that exam you can take admission in BCA. After completing BCA, you can attain positions as Developers, Design Engineers, Data Base Administrator, Network Administrator and Data Analyst in the IT industry and facilitate their placement in government, semi-government and leading companies like Cognizant, Accenture, HCL, Wipr

    Yes, you can pursue a training course in IT such as Cisco/Microsoft as they will also help you in your career. According to my experience, a short-term course will be a better alternative.

    Dear aspirant, Glad to meet you. Yes, you can do BCA because BCA is a Bachelor's Degree course which any stream students can pursue (Science, Commerce, and Arts) after completing 12th schooling from a recognized Board but if we talk about the best college or institute then there is an entrance exam so maybe that's a problem for other stream students. Best Courses After 12th Commerce:
    Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com)
    Bachelor of Economics (BE)
    Bachelor of Accounting and Finance (BAF)
    Bachelor of Commerce in Banking and Insurance (BBI)
    Bachelor of Commerce in Financial Market (BFM)
    Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA). If you found it useful

Hi.

Dont worry you have so much time to score good marks.

follow some strategy 

  • Organic Chemistry: Focus on all the name reactions and their mechanisms. Write them down repeatedly until you remember them perfectly.
  • Physical Chemistry: Similar to physics, create a master list of all formulas from chapters like Solutions, Chemical Kinetics, and Electrochemistry. Practice applying these formulas to textbook problems.
